I got to the table too late so missed out on getting a copy of the joomla/smf bridge. So, I'm trying to modify the Mambo bridge to work with Joomla 1.5. I think I've managed to find and replace all instances of calls to mambo functions with Joomla 1.5 equivalents, and have modified the xml files to be consistent (hopefully) with Joomla 1.5 installation requirements.
The question is... do I package up each component, module, and plugin separately and install them one at a time or what?
I tried just zipping up the whole bridge folder and I keep getting a "Could not find an XML setup file in the package." error.
To avoid distraction... I know I cannot and will not distribute what I'm working on. It's strictly for my own use. However, if successful I'll try to share some of the techniques used, like the J! language equivalents.
Thanks in advance!

I've re=packaged everything into separate directories for each extension. The first one installed with only a minor problem due to cut/paste error on my part. The second one is throwing an error due to a missing file "config.smf_registration.php" which is called for in the manifest. For now, I'm just going to remove the reference. Any idea what this file is supposed to be?
Thanks,
joe
It seems someone else had worked it out. See http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=224824.0 (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=224824.0)

Perhaps, but they do not give details and the bridge cannot be distributed so I need to do it myself. I have contacted the author of that post and asked for any guidance they could give.
